Expert Treatment for Spider Veins

Spider veins are a common unwanted issue for many patients. Spider veins can be multiple colors; red, purple or blue are the most common.

Request an appointment for a spider veins consultation at our vein clinics near you if you experience any of these symptoms:

Web-like appearance on the skin
Uncomfortable feeling in the legs
Swelling
Rash
Throbbing, cramping, or aching
Restless legs
Itching around the veins
Skin ulcers

Spider veins do not always require medical attention. However, spider veins indicate a deeper issue—venous insufficiency of the lower extremities. This is a vein disorder that causes blood to flow backwards and pool in the legs. If a deeper issue is identified, treatment will often help prevent or delay additional spider veins from forming.

Before & After

StrideCare, formerly Hamilton Vascular, is your premier vein center for spider vein and venous disease treatment. Our results speak for themselves.

What are Spider Vein Symptoms?

Spider veins often are unsightly and a cosmetic nuisance. Spider veins usually do not cause pain, swell or bulge. They can occasionally itch and burn. If you have spider veins or notice an increasing number of spider veins, and are experiencing other feelings of discomfort (tired, heavy, achy) or pain, this may be a sign of an underlying venous insufficiency of the legs.

What Causes Spider Veins?

Hereditary factors play a big role in who develops spider veins. Statistically spider veins occur most frequently in women and individuals that have occupations that requires them to stand or sit for long periods of time. In general, any condition that puts added pressure on the circulatory system increases the chance of spider vein formation.

The most common factors are:

Heredity
Older age
Hormonal
Overweight
Occupation
Sedentary lifestyle
Sun exposure
Trauma/injury

How are Spider Veins Treated?

Sclerotherapy is the most common treatment of spider veins.

Call (512) 890-0804 to schedule your spider veins consultation with the experts at StrideCare.

The specialists at StrideCare, formerly known as Hamilton Vascular, provide sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive treatment for small varicose veins. Foam sclerotherapy is very safe as it quickly dilutes when it gets to the deeper venous circulation. Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy can be used to treat deeper veins that are underneath the skin at various depths.

The sclerotherapy treatment session takes around 20-45 minutes. It is an outpatient procedure performed in the comfort and convenience of our office. Usually 2-3 sessions are necessary, depending on the severity and number of spider veins. Noticeable results are typically achieved 6-8 weeks after treatment. Sclerotherapy is very safe and patients can return to normal activity immediately after treatment.
